Mmmm...many people. Matthew Inman (author of the Oatmeal) comes to mind. He managed to do his own thing from his couch, reaching millions and educating through entertaining. He's super creative and pretty darn cute too.

What's your secret superpower?

Empathy! And…I can write anywhere, anytime.

What's your backup career?

I am a Professor of Biology though I am not sure which career is primary and which a backup

What do you remember without effort?

Feelings, emotions, and complicated molecular biology pathways ;)

If you had 5 minutes to teach someone something new, what would you teach?

I would teach them to draw a line between the things you can control and the things you cannot. It's amazing how, once you do that, you will never have a reason to be upset again. If it's up to you; change it. If it's not; why wasting your time?
